Quite a big problem with internet

[gullkhan0]

I am having the same noise issue but only after when I bought the new VGA card(Nvidia 6600 GT) I started playing games on PC but after sometime est 3 to 3 hours continuously playing all of hte things stop the fan of CPU and VGA but the power light of CPU still lightened up. :cryingNow I have to open my CPU case and put in the desktop style under FAN:crying and I can play how much long I wish.

Can anyone tell me what is the perfect combination of spyware(\adware)remover & antivirus
It can be any shareware or freeware

Use Spybot Search and Destroy, and Ad Aware free version for your anti-spyware needs.
If you want to spend money, Spyware Doctor is very good.

For antivirus, use Avast home edition, which is free, or AVG (not as good as avast).
If you want to spend money, I would recommend Eset Nod32, Kaspersky or Bitdefender. All 3 are equally good.

Yeah it sounds like the fan spinning quickly, i'm not sure what to do, as the computer was bought by my parents as a package (stupid ) and I think that opening the case voids the warranty that we got with it - that said, the warranty should cover something like this anyway. I will try to get my parents to check it out soon.

I may also give that utility a try tomorrow - thanks for your help Abhas and Kshitiz! .

I am pretty sure it is either a CPU or RAM issue - I wish I could open it up and have a look but it's a bit of a risk to take regarding the warranty. My parents thought that I wouldn't be able to build a computer properly (they thought it was difficult) so they got a ready made one : Then shortly after they said that I had my work experience at a computer sales/repairs place and I was almost constantly building computers for a week! It's easy (probably forgotten the exact wiring now though ). The computers I made were custom builds for customers!

The whole process is easy. The only thing where you have to take care is mounting the processor. One wrong move and boom, you could waste a lot of dollars. It shouldn't be like that though. Wiring is pretty easy nowadays, only the main 24-pin connector to the mainboard, 4 pin to the LGA power socket, and rest 5V to the things like HDD and Optical Drive.

Get out of my thread, get your own ones

Abhas, it still isn't working. I'm using these programmes about 4 times a day and they are still picking stuff up. I also can rarely get a reliable connection to things like photobucket or google as it still the same problem in the first post.

Any ideas?

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Looks like your only way out is either a windows reinstall, and google and manually remove all of this viruses, a tedious job believe me. Do you have any kind of recovery partition / CD?

 

[Abhas]

Can you post a screenshot of what spyware entries you are getting?
Both Spybot and Ad-aware.

 

[Highlander999]

It's the same one as in the previous screenshot

Download Ad Aware Free version. (http://lavasoft.com/)

It is capable of removing virtumonde.

There is another site which has softwares and guides to remove this. : http://www.virtumonde.net/vundosoftware/stopvundo.html

Download the vundofix.exe I have used it before, and i was able to clean vundo on one of my systems,

Microsoft has a page on this as well.

Did you try this?

 

[Highlander999]

I now have this problem where this stuff just keeps poping up and won't go away

Did you try this?

Yes. I can't even post screenshots as I can't access photobucket. Attached it instead. And I keep getting a popup on planetcricket for Millionaire Casino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Abhas]

hmm.. Are the entries in ad aware the same?
There must be some other spyware as well.

 

[Highlander999]

This is the only thing spyware is getting but it is this one over and over again

 

[Highlander999]

Just realised that the pop up stuff on the right is coming from Search & Destroy. I close it down and it stopped coming up.

Also this bloody Millionaire Casino Pop up is driving me crazy

Running ad-aware now but it will take some time to complete

Don't worry Abhas, Kshitiz is helping me fix it on MSN. Looks like this might be working

 

[Abhas]

Oh.. good.

btw, the freecorder toolbar you are using, is it safe?
any other toolbars installed in IE?

 

[Highlander999]

Yeah I know the freecorder stuff. Anyway it looks like KI has fixed this, so cheers to him and Abhas for all the help
